Design Reference : Intro
For my design reference project I have chosen five websites that I found aesthetically pleasing, as well as designs that I thought would work well for the website that have chosen for the Website project. As mentioned previously, I’m working on a site called Roxie 77, which features information and music for the artist Ryan Roxie. As a brief overview, Ryan played guitar and co-wrote music with Alice Cooper between 2000 and 2006 as well as working with Slash for his solo project, Slash’s Snakepit. Roxie has had a number of projects himself including Dad’s Porno Mag, Roxie 77 and his current band HappyPill.
The sites I have chosen also happen to be artists that have, or continue to, work with Alice Cooper (as well as the official Alice Cooper Site) and I think are really well designed sites that are easy to navigate and are pleasing to the eye. So, over the next few days I will present the sites and how I feel they share certain web conventions and what I like or dislike about particular parts of the pages.
